Notes
Using black olives is perfect for those spooky spider legs!
Make sure to cut them into thin slices for realism.
Since paprika adds a hint of spice and color, use it according to your taste preference.
If you want a softer, less crispy finish, adjust the baking time slightly.
Personalize the recipe to suit your guests’ tastes and create the ultimate spooky treat!
